Abstract

Fifty-five United States Physics Olympians and their parents participated in the study to answer three research questions: Did the United States Physics Olympians fulfill their high potential? What factors contributed to or hindered the development of the Olympians’ talent? What was the impact of the Olympiad program? The results showed that these Olympians produced 328 research products and patents and over 55% of them have or are pursuing a Ph.D. degree. Several home and school influences were found to contribute to the Physics Olympians’ talent development. The overall evaluation of the Olympiad program was positive, although some hindrances were identified.
